An exquisite top-to-bottom transformation by Estee Design, this two-storey Yorkville condo with two bedrooms, three bathrooms, office and two terraces has been completely renovated to the highest of contemporary standards and with luxurious finishes.

On the first floor of the unit, the dream kitchen was created by removing walls and reconfiguring the layout to allow for a more open design. The kitchen features custom cabinets with soft-closing hardware and plenty of storage, Nuvolato Grigio marble counters, Blanco double bowl under-mount granite composite sink with Blanco Posh faucet, plus a superb combination of contemporary wood-paneled walls and backsplash of whimsical hand-painted Italian tile. The new island that opens to the dining area is topped with Caesarstone and boasts Beat Lighting by Tom Dixon overhead.

The finishing touches in the kitchen include a wall-mounted pot-filler faucet above the cooktop, a swiveling wall-mounted TV, and wall-mounted herb garden for fresh seasoning. The high-end appliances consist of a Fisher & Paykel counter-depth fridge with bottom freezer, ice-maker and water dispenser; Fulgor ceramic cooktop with European-style stainless steel hood vent; Fulgor 30” convection wall oven; Panasonic microwave with trim kit; Bloomberg dishwasher; and Scholtes built-in coffee system with water supply.

The living room boasts a wood-burning fireplace and a new TV wall with built-in storage, completed by LED pot lights. The dining room features a beautiful chrome and glass lantern chandelier, a wall of built-in storage cabinets and display shelves, with a walk-out to the first of two terraces.

On the second floor of the unit, the master bedroom layout has been reconfigured to enlarge the custom walk-in closet that now includes a make-up desk. The second terrace is accessed via the master bedroom. The spa-inspired ensuite bathroom consists of a six-foot acrylic soaker tub, oak cabinets and panels, marble counters, large medicine cabinet, ambient lighting options, and heated floors.

The original second bedroom has been divided into two separate rooms, divided by sliding pocket doors to better optimize the space that now makes room for a good-sized bedroom in tandem with an equally good-sized home office or den. The office has two big built-in closets and a built-in office desk with shelves. The laundry area has a new Whirlpool Energy Star front-loading, stacked washer and dryer, and is finished with white ceramic tiles, a smart shelving unit, counter for folding and baskets for storage.

The list of extensive improvements also includes: European white oak engineered hardwood floors from Torlys with cork underlay throughout; tile floors in the bathrooms; 100% wool runner from ELTE on the stairs; smooth ceilings with new pot lights, track lighting and hanging fixtures, solid core interior doors with laminated white glass and high-end polished chrome egg-shaped doorknobs; new solid wood 5~1/2” baseboard and 3” door trim sprayed with low VOC high gloss paint from Benjamin Moore; and all walls have been either primed and painted with two coats of low VOC paint from the Benjamin Moore Aura collection or tastefully appointed with stylish wallpaper.

The unit also has two terraces with new outdoor flooring, two parking spaces (tandem) and locker. Amenities of the building include 24-hour concierge, visitor parking, rooftop deck, exercise room and party room. Situated near Yonge and Davenport, 15 McMurrich Street is an exclusive boutique building in a highly desirable location, with a high ratio of owner-occupancy. It’s just steps to the Rosedale and Yonge & Bloor TTC subway stations, not to mention all of the world-class shopping, cafes, restaurants and nightlife for which Yorkville is famous. And with a Walk Score of 98, this building has the best of what urban living in Toronto has to offer.
